In today’s ultra-competitive business landscape, forward-thinking companies understand that the well-being of their employees is directly linked to organizational success. Recent findings from the Society for Human Resource Management (SHRM) 2022 survey highlight that while 91% of US employers are committed to offering mental health benefits, many may overlook a critical component of overall wellness: gut health.
Gut health, often associated only with digestive diseases like irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) and inflammatory bowel disease (IBD), is vital to mental health, cognitive performance, cardiovascular wellness, and effective stress management. This is partly due to the complex ecosystem of microorganisms living in the gut microbiome.
With one in four Americans facing digestive diseases, the implications for mental health and, by extension, workplace productivity and morale are significant.
As benefits leaders, your role in navigating and implementing comprehensive health solutions is more crucial than ever. Our in-depth guide gives you the keys to understanding the gut-brain axis and its broad implications on employee health and organizational performance.
